From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 169 I've broken through three acupoints

White Ape Martial Arts School, inner courtyard tea room.

In the dimly lit room, the air seemed to freeze.

A bright red visiting card with gold lettering lay quietly on the rosewood table. Its glaring red color stood out starkly in the dimly lit tea room.

"Flying Fish Martial Arts School, Ding Mianyue, and the Fist-Questioning White Ape!"

The handwriting is sharp and aggressive.

Qin Fangqiong sat in the armchair, her gaze gloomy, with a plate full of chicken feet beside her, untouched.

Below them, Lin Wanzhu and Xu Feng stood with their hands at their sides, their expressions solemn.

"Master, Ding Mianyue is coming with great force."

Xu Feng's voice was deep: "She's challenged seven or eight martial arts schools in the past few days, and she crippled each opponent with a single move—"

Qin Fangqiong sighed, a trace of weariness flashing in her cloudy eyes: "Although Su Yu and Chen Fan are geniuses, they have not been cultivating for very long. Su Yu has only recently broken through to the second acupoint. Even with his sword aura, his chances of winning against Ding Mianyue, who has perfected her qi and blood and has mastered superior killing techniques, are less than 10%."

"Master, what do you mean—" Lin Wanzhu asked worriedly, biting her red lips.

"Withdraw from the battle."

Qin Fangqiong closed her eyes and finally uttered those two words.

"Withdraw the fight?" A flash of anger crossed Xu Feng's eyes. "Master, the people of the martial arts school can fight, not retreat! If we withdraw, the reputation of the White Ape Martial Arts School will be completely ruined!"

"It's better to have a ruined reputation than to be crippled!"

Qin Fangqiong suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze sharp: "Su Yu and Chen Fan are the future of the martial arts school. I can't let them ruin their own future for the sake of the school's reputation!"

The air inside was completely still.

Lin Wanzhu and Xu Feng exchanged a glance, both seeing the sorrow in each other's eyes. Their master, who had always been fierce and domineering, was now forced to bow his head to protect his disciples; the bitterness of this was beyond words.

Perhaps it was the death of the eldest brother that changed the master.

Several days later, Blackrock City.

The news that the White Ape Martial Arts School was avoiding battle spread throughout the city as if it had grown wings.

Public opinion surged in like a tidal wave, filled with ridicule and contempt.

"This is the renowned White Ape Martial Arts School? They're cornered at the door and don't even dare utter a sound. What a disgrace!"

"I think Su Yu is all show and no substance. He boasted so much before, but when he met a real genius from Liangzhou, he turned into a coward."

"A martial artist should be courageous and fierce, preferring to die standing than live on their knees! This White Ape Martial Arts School is a disgrace!"

"With such cowardice and fear of trouble, I think the White Ape Martial Arts School should never open again and accept disciples!"

White Ape Martial Arts School, the training ground in the front yard.

Xu Feng was instructing several apprentices on their movements when a few timid new apprentices came up to him.

"Senior Brother Xu—" one of the leading boys stammered, not daring to look him in the eye, "We—we just joined the martial arts school a few days ago and haven't even started learning martial arts yet—we want to withdraw our tuition fees."

Xu Feng paused slightly, then resumed his hand, his voice calm: "Have you thought it through?"

"yes----"

The boy was somewhat embarrassed, his voice barely audible: "The Shattered Bone Martial Arts School said that if a disciple from the White Ape Martial Arts School goes, they'll only charge 70% of the fee—and now that we're going out, the other martial arts schools look down on us—"

Shattered Bone Martial Arts School!

They killed the senior brother, and now they're kicking him while he's down!

Xu Feng felt a pang of pain in his heart, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes, but it ultimately turned into a long sigh.

"It's alright, you can go to the backyard and ask Senior Sister Qin for a refund."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xu!" The group's faces lit up with joy, and they headed towards the backyard.

"Wait!" Xu Feng suddenly called out to them, "I'll take care of it for you."

"Okay, senior brother." Although the others were a little confused, they obediently agreed.

The backyard, the tea room.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, Qin Yu slammed her hand down on the golden nanmu coffee table in front of her, shattering it. Her pretty face was contorted with rage, and she trembled with anger.

"A bunch of damned bastards! Do you think the White Ape Martial Arts School can just come and go as it pleases?! I'll cripple them all!"

"return!"

Qin Fangqiong reprimanded her daughter, her expression calm: "Time will tell, let those who want to leave go!"

"Dad! What will happen to our White Ape Martial Arts School in the future? If we don't have new apprentices, the school won't be able to continue operating!" Qin Yu's chest heaved with anger, and she was about to slam her hand on the chair next to her.

Qin Fangqiong quickly pressed down on her shoulder, "Don't ruin my teahouse. As long as your father is here, the martial arts school will never go out of business."

"The Lantern Festival is in a few days. If we can't beat someone as strong as Ding Mianyue, we can have Su Yu and Chen Fan challenge the Broken Bone Martial Arts School. That way, we can salvage some of our reputation."

"As for these unpleasant things, don't tell Su Yu and the others yet. Let them focus on preparing for battle."

On the eve of the Lantern Festival, at the Su residence.

On the training ground, Su Yu finished his stance and stood up, taking the hot towel handed to him by Yang Zhen and wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Brother Su, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Someone from the martial arts school has come to invite you over," Yang Zhen said softly, like a well-behaved young wife.

Su Yu nodded and brought up the panel to check.

[Martial Arts]: White Ape Fist (Level 8000) (Mastery 1/12000)

[Martial Arts]: Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade (Level 1) (Mastery 700/10000)

[Martial Arts]: Black Stone Body Tempering Technique (Level 1) (Minor Success 4000/10000)

[Martial Arts]: Seven Fiends Thunderclap Step (Minor Success 1600/3000)

[Limit Break Point] 2 point (10% progress)

During this time, he ignored everything else and focused solely on practicing martial arts, while also researching Yang Zhen's Yi Wood Spirit.

body.

With the help of the Wood elemental energy, his martial arts progress is now much faster than expected.

"Soon! Less than half a month after the Lantern Festival, I'll have mastered the White Ape Fist, and then I'll be a master of the Flesh Refining Realm!"

"However, the Blackrock Ironback Crocodile meat is gone, so accumulating Limit Break points will slow down."

White Ape Martial Arts School Tea Room.

Su Yu and Chen Fan stood with their hands at their sides, with Lin Wanzhu, Qin Yu, Xu Feng, and Jiang Liuchuan also present.

Qin Fangqiong smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, when all the forces will come to the arena to compete."

"But if we face the Shattered Bone Martial Arts School, beat them to a pulp! Show the might of the White Apes!"

"Disciple understands!"

Chen Fan immediately clasped his hands in agreement, secretly delighted.

Su Yu offended the Ironclad Martial Arts School, so he wasn't going to stand up for them. Besides, he'd heard that Sun Yan had not only recovered from his injuries but had also made further progress in his martial arts. Would he really go up there and get killed by him?

As for Ding Mianyue from the Flying Fish Martial Arts School, they dared not face her. She was a master from Liangzhou Prefecture, and no one had been able to withstand a single move from her.

However, Su Yu did not respond.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze calmly meeting Qin Fangqiong's: "Master, I think this is inappropriate. This Lantern Festival concerns the reputation of our martial arts school. If we simply avoid battle, the backbone of the White Ape Martial Arts School will truly be broken."

Su Yu's voice was not loud, but it was firm and resolute: "Whether it's Sun Yan from the Ironclad Martial Arts School or Ding Mianyue from the Flying Fish Martial Arts School, I will take them over to you."

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

"Nonsense!"

Qin Yu immediately panicked, "Junior Brother Su, are you crazy? Whether it's Sun Yan or Ding Mianyue, they are both powerful and ruthless. How could you possibly handle them?"

Jiang Liuchuan also put away his folding fan, looking anxious: "Old Su, as long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn! That mad dog Sun Yan has said he'll cripple you in the arena. Wouldn't going up there now be playing right into his hands?"

Xu Feng stepped forward and patted Su Yu on the shoulder, "Junior brother, don't act rashly."

Lin Wanzhu's beautiful eyes were filled with worry: "Junior brother, we all know your talent; you will definitely reach the Body Refining Realm in the future. But now—it's not the time. A moment of patience will bring peace!" Chen Fan, meanwhile, sneered inwardly: Fool!

Are you desperate for attention? If you want to die, then go ahead and do it. It'll be good that you're crippled so you won't have to compete with me for resources anymore!

Despite the dissuasion, worry, and even doubts of the crowd, Su Yu's expression remained unchanged. He simply said calmly, "I have broken through three acupoints."
